ATTORNEY General George Brandis says the government intends to have the gay marriage plebiscite ‘this year.’

“Were the government to be re-elected there will be a plebiscite ... the bill to constitute the plebiscite will be introduced early in the life of the new parliament so that we can have the plebiscite before the end of this year,” Senator Brandis told Sky News today.

There is no doubt that if the public votes yes, parliament will follow the will of the nation, Senator Brandis says.
